Default Re: First lesson - Adult absolute beginners

I would start with the following:

1. Hello (greetings).
2. My name is...
3. I like...
4. I don't like...

Yes this is a bit unnatural, at least numbers three and four. But it gives you the chance to introduce a few common objects (fruit, sports, music, movies, etc.). You can drill each one, step by step. You can introduce some vocabulary. Then at the end, you can have students interview as many people as possible in five minutes (or more), which will help reuse and reinforce the target language.

Good luck.
